Chapter 197 She seemed about to back down, which frightened Chi Yanzhou.

Xia Yuhuan said with satisfaction, "Okay, I understand. It's nothing. I'll hang up now. We'll talk about the rest when I get back."

Xia Yuhuan then hung up the phone without hesitation.

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yuhuan closed the phone and pushed it back to the staff member.

She smiled at the other person and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome," the other person quickly shook their head.

Then, Xia Yuhuan finally let go of Jin Xiaoxiao.

“Jin Xiaoxiao, my man says he doesn’t know you, what else do you have to say?” Xia Yuhuan asked.

Her question, to Jin Xiaoxiao, was a weapon to further humiliate her.

Jin Xiaoxiao's ears were ringing, and she felt that the voices around her were mocking and ridiculing her.

For a moment, she clenched her hands tightly, not daring to look up.

"Jin Xiaoxiao, I hope you can understand that there is a fundamental difference between the man you like and your man."

"Next time you speak, you should be clearer to avoid misunderstandings," Xia Yuhuan said calmly.

Jin Xiaoxiao suddenly looked up at her, her eyes bloodshot, and growled viciously, "Xia Yuhuan, shut up."

She was already so embarrassed and upset, and Xia Yuhuan still took advantage of her misfortune to mock her. It was simply too much!

Xia Yuhuan frowned as she looked at Jin Xiaoxiao.

Jin Xiaoxiao is the one who did something wrong, so why does she look at me like that?

"I won't let you get away with this. We'll see." Jin Xiaoxiao said, shoving Xia Yuhuan aside and running towards the door.

She encountered a crowd of onlookers along the way, but she kept quiet and kept her head down as she squeezed her way in, looking determined to get through.

The crowd didn't try to stop her from leaving; they quickly made way for her.

Xia Yuhuan was bumped and lost her balance, falling straight to the ground.

She cursed inwardly: Damn, Jin Xiaoxiao is no pushover. She even gave her a beating before leaving.

Just when she thought she was about to fall, someone put their arm around her waist and caught her.

Once she regained her footing, Xia Yuhuan opened her eyes and looked at the other person.

He was a tall, imposing male doctor.

This height is absolutely comparable to that of Chi Yanzhou.

From her angle, all she could see was the other person's chin.

Before Xia Yuhuan could reach out to push him away, he withdrew his hand first.

"I acted rashly in a moment of crisis, please forgive me," the other person said, their voice clear and melodious.

It was a completely different feeling from Chi Yanzhou's cool and steady voice.

It sounds so... energetic and vibrant.

Xia Yuhuan looked up at the other person, and a handsome face appeared in front of her.

Unlike Chi Yanzhou, who had sharp, angular features, the other person looked more like the "pretty boy" described in later generations.

His facial features are generally rounded and soft; he's not fat, but very handsome.

He was wearing a crisp military uniform underneath a white overcoat, and he was the kind of handsome guy that you couldn't take your eyes off at first glance.

If this were in later generations, they would definitely be the kind of people who could debut on the spot.

Fortunately, Xia Yuhuan had been looking at Chi Yanzhou's handsome face for so long that she had developed a certain immunity to handsome men.

It wasn't to the point of losing control.

Xia Yuhuan quickly thanked her, "Don't say that. You saved me just now. I should be thanking you."

"Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I would have fallen on my butt."

"No need to thank me. We're all colleagues. Since I saw it, it's only right that I helped."

"By the way, my name is Zhou Shizui. It's a pleasure to meet you, Dr. Xia."

"I heard about your performance in the operating room today. I didn't expect your medical skills to be so good. Please give me more guidance in the future," Zhou Shizui said.

Xia Yuhuan quickly replied, "You flatter me. I was just doing what I was supposed to do."

"I wouldn't call it giving you pointers; let's explore and improve together in the future."

Zhou Shizui smiled and said, "Okay."

"Dr. Xia, I have to go now, see you later."

Xia Yuhuan quickly replied, "Okay, see you later."

"Thank you for helping me today. I'll treat you to dinner another day," Xia Yuhuan added.

"Okay, then I'll wait for Dr. Xia's meal."

Zhou Shizui smiled and said goodbye to Xia Yuhuan before leaving.

Seeing that there was no excitement to be had, the people around dispersed.

However, discussions about Jin Xiaoxiao spread throughout the entire hospital.

Xia Yuhuan left the hospital and returned home.

When she got home, Chi Yanzhou was practically furious.

Upon seeing her enter, Chi Yanzhou immediately stepped forward and protested his innocence.

"Honey, I really don't know this Jin Xiaoxiao. You have to believe me, honey."

"Who exactly is spreading rumors about me, saying I have a boyfriend or girlfriend?"

"Honey, let me tell you, they were all lying to you, I..."

Xia Yuhuan said, "I know, you don't need to explain."

Chi Yanzhou: "..."

When he called his wife earlier, she was furious, but now she seems to be in a better mood. Has the matter been resolved?

Chi Yanzhou was filled with confusion.

He asked Xia Yuhuan what had happened earlier.

Xia Yuhuan calmly recounted the argument she had with Jin Xiaoxiao in the hospital lobby.

Upon hearing this, Chi Yanzhou's face turned ashen.

"No way, is this woman crazy? I don't even know her, how could she say something like that?"

For once, Chi Yanzhou was somewhat exasperated.

He even caused his wife to misunderstand him, which really infuriated him.

"Alright, let's stop talking about her. I exposed her on the spot, which made her lose face. She's probably hiding somewhere crying right now."

“Let’s all be more moral and have higher standards of conduct, and not talk badly about people behind their backs,” Xia Yuhuan reassured.

Chi Yanzhou nodded and then pledged his loyalty to Xia Yuhuan.

"Wife, believe me. I've lived for twenty-eight years, and you've been the only woman in my life. I've only ever loved you. I've never had anyone else."

“Any woman who comes to you and says she has a relationship with me is a wicked person with malicious intentions, a crazy woman. Don’t fall for it,” Chi Yanzhou said nervously.

No wonder he was nervous.

His wife hadn't even fallen for him yet. What if, because of a few words from others, she thought he was having an affair and wanted to break up with him, get a divorce, or run away?

This possibility should be nipped in the bud from the very beginning!

Xia Yuhuan nodded slightly upon hearing this and replied, "Okay, I'll listen to you and won't fall for it."

Chi Yanzhou finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

However, the next moment, Xia Yuhuan reached out, cupped his face, and looked him over from left to right.

The action was somewhat sudden, yet full of intimacy, leaving Chi Yanzhou stunned.

Xia Yuhuan said with annoyance, "But you're so good-looking, there must be a lot of women who like you, right?"

"With so many undesirable romantic interests around you, I'm not going to be constantly dealing with them, am I?"

Hearing that she seemed to be backing down, Chi Yanzhou was so frightened that he quickly reached out and grabbed her hand.
